+1.  Or utils, as I picture utils being the place where we keep things  
that aren't core, but are still useful.  Of course, we also have, in  
core, o.a.m.utils, I believe.  The difference, in my mind, is that the  
utils module is dependent on core, not the other way around, which is  
why I put the Lucene extraction stuff in there.

You up for a patch for this?  I think I have some time to work on  
converting the M/R if someone else can take on the I/O to from the user.

Seems like Canopy would need to be made Writable too, no?
